Green Coffee Sourcing for International Markets.
Green coffee beans are unroasted coffee seeds prepared for subsequent roasting and processing. They are traded internationally by origin, species, processing method, physical grade and quality characteristics.
Arabica and Robusta are two major commercial coffee categories. Different origins and processing methods can influence flavour characteristics, bean appearance and suitability for particular roasting applications.
Ghosh Products & Resources evaluates green coffee sourcing opportunities according to buyer requirements, available origins, moisture, screen size, defects, cup characteristics and agreed commercial terms.
Arabica & Robusta Coffee.
The appropriate coffee category depends on the buyer's roasting requirements, product formulation, quality expectations and budget.

Robusta Coffee
Robusta coffee is widely used in commercial roasting, espresso blends and soluble coffee manufacturing, with qualities varying substantially by grade and processing method.
